Installing Android Studio

Install the BlackBerry Plug-in for Android Studio

Before you begin, make sure that
you have the Android Studio
correctly installed and configured on your computer.

There is an alternate way to install the plug-in on the Mac
OS or Linux. You can extract the BlackBerry Plug-in for Android Studio zip file directly to <your_android_studio_installation_folder>\plugins
folder.

Select the location of the zip file containing the BlackBerry Plug-in for Android Studio.

Click Apply.

You must restart Android Studio for your
changes to take effect. After Android Studio restarts, the BlackBerry ADB Proxy Manager icon appears in the main toolbar. The BlackBerry ADB Proxy Manager manages connections to the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).

After you finish:

After you install the plug-in, you should verify that Android Studio has
successfully installed the Android SDK required for your app.

To verify that the required Android SDK (API level) for your app has been installed:

Start Android Studio.

On the Tools menu,
click Android and then click SDK Manager.

Verify that the required Android SDK (API level) for your app has a Status of Installed.

The maximum API level supported is Android 4.3 (API 18).

The BlackBerry
ADB Proxy Manager

The BlackBerryAndroid Device Bridge (ADB) Proxy Manager is added when you install the BlackBerry Plug-in. It displays all of your connected BlackBerry devices and simulators.

When you have a BlackBerry
ID Signing token and Developer certificate configured, you can
connect a BlackBerry device that doesn't contain a device debug token and use the BlackBerry ADB Proxy Manager to create a new device debug token.

In the BlackBerry ADB Proxy Manager, when you try to start a BlackBerry 10 device that doesn't have a device debug token, the
Missing Debug Token message appears
in the Status column. A dialog box that
begins the process of creating a device debug token is displayed.
